Israelite Officers Appeal to Pharaoh
Exodus 5:15-19
15
And the officers of the children of Israel came, and cried out to Pharao, saying: Why dealest thou so with thy servants?
16
Straw is not given us, and bricks are required of us as before; behold we, thy servants, are beaten with whips, and thy people is unjustly dealt withal.
17
And he said: You are idle, and therefore you say: Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.
18
Go therefore and work: straw shall not be given you, and you shall deliver the accustomed number of bricks.
19
And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in evil case, because it was said to them: There shall not a whit be diminished of the bricks for every day.
